Return to Del (Deltora Quest #8) (8)

The international bestselling series returns for a new generation with a fresh look and bonus content from the legends of Deltora!

On his sixteenth birthday, Lief and his companions must venture into the darkest and most terrible places in all of Deltora to find the seven magical gems stolen from the Belt of Deltora. When reunited in the Belt, these gems-an amethyst, a topaz, a diamond, a ruby, an opal, a lapis lazuli, and an emerald-will empower the heir to the throne of Deltora and free the people from the evil tyranny of the Shadow Lord.

The seven lost gems have been restored to the Belt of Deltora. Now Lief, Barda, and Jasmine must find the heir to the kingdom's throne, as only he can overthrow the evil Shadow Lord. The Deltora quest rushes to its thundering climax, and the fury and power of the Shadow Lord threatens to destroy its three heroes and everything they love.
